[possible-preview] Td Panther Magic Purple

Um okay, I wanted a VS that was a little different and spotting how purple and pale greys looks great together I set out to tweak Three Drives' great VS for myself. I dubbed the creation "Magic Purple" and I think it looks rather juicy.. I've attached a few clips of screenshots to show the widgets and buttons etc, it's mostly just a recolour with new widgets (from theDeviL), should I bother asking for permission from Three Drives and theDeviL to release this modification? Edit: Sorry if this confused anyone with how I phrased that, I meant should I bother to ask if I can release this or just leave it for myself? I would never release it without express permission. Edit: Does anyone have Three Drives' email? I tried PMing him and emailing and his inbox is full and apparently his SMTP server is down.. (Sidenote: The buttons were taken straight from iTunes for hopeful most accurateness.)

Taskbar.

Normal

Hover

Clicky

Widgets, buttons, scrollbar.

Current Stuff to Fix

• Miniwindow (fullsized) widgets.

• Radio and checkbuttons (fecked outline).

• Possibly change buttons to more flat-button like.

• Change selected/clicky button text colour.

Comments are wossname, appreciated.

this looks really good

Great work mate. This looks like what wizard would like. :naughty: Nice...

I'd say just ask TD and theDevil for their opinions. It's no harm asking, seriously. And they'd appreciate it for the respect you give to them too. I'm pretty sure they'd gladly let you release it after that.

Thanks for sharing! :who's your daddy:

The purple that you are using is HEX #800080. Magic Purple/Pink is HEX #FF00FF. But yes, I am intrested, much better than #FF00FF and yes get TD permission. He worked long and hard for the theme.

Then again, there may be a difference in Magic Pink and Magic Purple.

It's not literal, it's just a name.. :6 I just emailed Three Drives and theDeviL for permission, if they both approve I'll aim at getting this out in

I stole them from iTunes 'cause I was having trouble altering the original Panther 4.0 ones. And I'm stuck waiting 15 minutes before emailing theDeviL, (d'oh!).

Cool... :naughty:

Take a break man... an occasional break from work is good for you.

#102399

if only my hard drive worked... i love it!

#102474

nice, looks like a REALLY OLD osx theme.. "Grape"

(was named grape, because at the time, Apple was naming the iMacs with fruity names)

mmm... grape.

Sorry to bump, but the Three Drives communications issue is still unresolved. His PM Box is full and his email doesn't work. If anyone could possibly pass along a message asking for permission or to ask him to contact me via email or IM I would really appreciate it.

And to celebrate as certain little incident (of changing my mind and buying an iBook this friday! (22nd Jan)) I want to get this VS finished and possibly another recolour packaged along with it (please suggest colours, not blue or purple obviously).

How about something dark?? Dark themes seem to be rather popular recently. :naughty:

Something dark, with neon orange/green/red texts! :woot:

#103059

when i did the Grape THeme, i released it with a colour i dubbed "Mocha"

as it was a nice light brown colour.

the light brown colour, looks nice with the grey of the OSX interface.. and is a similar style to Grape..

also, when apple switched to naming the macs after jewels,

i considered releasing a pack that contained similar themes. but with Ruby, and Emerald colours.

if they are popular, do something else...

the purple idea, is quite original. i'm sure you can come up with something else just as original..

#103398

how about a collection of subdued colors... you're on the right track with the purple, maybe like a peach or a mint green. here's some suggested colors:

You've got a point there.

Well, it depends on you, es.xxi! So long as you have fun, and remember to take your rest!

#103419

How about a dark purple theme?

#103430

Just to say, I'm not dead on this.. I've just been resting up, I'm exhausted.. Anyway.. I love the idea of a light mint green and a peach. That would be a more original package of colours. I don't want to do a dark theme (afterall I'm working on Tres Noir for the dark side).

I'll toy around with some colours (thanks Wookietv) and post a few previews and ask which you'd all like done most.

Thanks for the comments.

[edit]: Also Three Drives contacted me and gave me an email to send the (I think) finished Magic Purple theme so he can decide.

Okay played around with colours and here's what I think would like nice as a pack.. (And I'm still waiting for theDeviL's permission to use those widgets.. )

Magic Purple

• You've seen. The main theme.

Leaf

• Mmm green.

Peach-Juice

• The nicest pink/peachy colour I could get..

Mac OSEPIA X

• Solution to a nice browny/orangey theme for relaxation.

#103522

That looks very nice to be a mockup! you surely have talent/free time!

OSEPIA X? thats just wrong... OSAMA X, mock up tat one... not you Gill bates,... not you...

#103523

:rant: Damn it...

#103551

Nice work mate. It's all looking very lovely. Can't wait to see what else you can churn up while you're awake.

@Seph: You alright???

@Gillbates: Cool it man... where's your bouncy banana avatar?

#103559

@Silencedge; It has to be nice.. OR WRATH!! (Inside joke)

@GillBates; ?

@Seph; What's wrong with "Mac OSEPIA X" eh? Eh?

#103563

@es.xxi: OOOooohhhh Yeeeaaahh.... (Inside joke) It will be nice mate.

EDIT: Oh, nice counting down eh? :naughty:

#103569
